[windy_miller]

Hi Suffolk Lookup community,

I have just discovered a Mr. Garrard who was a miller at Finningham who died c.1793/07/24 according to the Bury & Norwich Press.  I can see that a Daniel Garrard was alive & kicking in 1793, but is he the ame man (B&NP 1793/06/26)?

Is anyone could furnish me with his first names (or confirm he was Daniel) that would be brilliant! (Any other info great appriciated too, as always)

Cheers in advance,
Windy

Hi Rosie99,

That is correct, Daniel Garrard was alive in June, and Mr. Garrard was dead around end of June /start of July same year.  Question is whether they were the same man, so died a month after being reported as an executor of someone else (a Norfolk based Garrard).  Was it the same unfortunate man?

I suppose he might even have been dead when the creditor's notice was posted?

Perfect.  May be Daniel's son(?), anyway mystery solved.

They always seem to died so young!

Many thanks!
